The forecast for the fun ride day was not good but the ground conditions were OK on the route and in the start field so we decided to go ahead. The rain did put people off coming out on a fun ride but we still managed to raise over £200 profit. All the riders who came had a great time and were very complementary about the route and organisation in general and we hope to do similar again next year (hopefully with better weather next time).
A massive thank you to everyone who helped and apologies to anyone missed out –
Route markers and stewards – Steve, Yvonne, Gill, Clare, Chris, Pete, John, Heather, Chris (from Farlow), Mandy, Olwen
Stewards and stewards on jumps – Louise, GIll
Tent and erection support – Andy
Catering – Jo, Marcelle
Cakes – Paula, Penny, Louisa, Jenny
Local Landowners – Millichamps (start field and use of field for jumps), Bosworths (and others)
